Hi Jeremy, Firstly, I think you didn't look closely at the code snippet that I included. As packaged, gnome-panel does not render the icons for the user menu, so it doesn't really matter if the icons are found or not (that is, no functionality is broken by not having gnome-icon-theme- symbolic installed).
Secondly, I think the purpose of symbolic icons has wandered from its original mission. Excerpted from the README of gnome-icon-theme-symbolic: "Icons follow the naming specification, but have a -symbolic suffix, so only applications specifically looking up these symbolic icons will render them. If a -symbolic icon is missing, the app will fall back to the regular name." If you'd prefer, I could change this bug (and similarly for g-c-c and totem) to "<package> should use g_themed_icon_new_from_names() for symbolic icons". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1093938 Title: gnome-panel should not have hard dependency to gnome-icon-theme- symbolic To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/1093938/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
